In industries like automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace, kitting plays a vital role. Kitting is the process of collecting, grouping, or packaging multiple individual items into a single product kit or a new SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) to support production, assembly, or order fulfillment. 

With a smart warehouse solution using plastic bins, businesses can efficiently gather and prepare a variety of components or materials—sorted by type and size—required for specific assembly stages, streamlining the production process. 

Modula Flexibox – Key Specifications and Advantages

Modula Flexibox is an automated storage solution utilizing plastic bins, designed specifically for industries with high turnover rates and fast processing demands. Each bin at the picking point can hold up to 35 kg of materials, and the system can handle up to 180 bins per hour, significantly reducing manual operations per picking cycle. 

Flexibox offers ultra-fast retrieval times and high accuracy, thanks to its core mechanical systems: 

• Central elevator: Moves vertically to transport bins from storage locations to the picking area. 
• Telescopic fork: Executes precise bin retrieval, reaching both front and rear bin columns.  

Inside a Modula Flexibox warehouse

A standout feature of Flexibox is its ability to retrieve up to 9 bins in a single picking cycle. Depending on the model, the system can simultaneously process 3 to 9 bins, offering flexibility to accommodate diverse operational needs. With its high throughput, Flexibox can handle a broader range of inventory types compared to traditional warehouses, as each bin can store multiple SKUs. 

Flexibox is particularly well-suited for batch picking operations, which enhance order processing efficiency and warehouse productivity while reducing: 

• The number of picking requests per operation. 
• Waiting times between picking cycles. 
• Reducing errors, thanks to the ability to retrieve multiple bins at once. 

Space-Saving and Smart Design

Modula Flexibox is built vertically, with a storage height of up to 20 meters and a capacity to hold hundreds of plastic bins sized 600×400 mm. Its vertical design enables up to 90% space optimization. Thanks to its compact and modular structure, Flexibox can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of warehouse layouts. 

The system is designed to minimize operational and maintenance costs by offering: 

• A simple, robust mechanical structure requiring less technical intervention than other automated storage systems. 
• Reduced wear and tear through the use of high-quality, durable materials. 
• High reliability, which significantly decreases downtime. 

In addition, Modula provides global customer support. In Vietnam, Temas is ready to assist with a team of highly trained technical experts. Please contact us if you need professional consultation. 

Automation and Advanced Technology Integration with Modula Flexibox 

Modula Flexibox integrates seamlessly with various automation and handling systems, including: 

• AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots): For hands-free transportation of bins. 
• AI Collaborative Robot: Enable automated picking directly from the bin at the picking station. 
• Put to Light: Use light signals to guide picking, reducing errors and increasing speed. 
• IoT & AI: Real-time data collection and analytics via Modula Web Analytics and OPC-UA to optimize warehouse operations. 

Flexibox also supports Colour-Guided Picking via the Pocket Monitor app. Color displays indicate the cart and item positions within the bin. The system automatically updates the WMS, minimizing errors and speeding up the process. The screen is mounted on a mini PC or PC Stick and works with barcode-scanning gloves, enabling hands-free confirmation of item positions. 

Seamless Integration with the Modula Ecosystem

A key advantage of Flexibox is its ability to integrate smoothly into existing warehouse infrastructures without disrupting operations or replacing other storage systems. 

When combined with the Modula ecosystem, Flexibox enhances and complements other systems such as Pallet and Lift. Each storage type fulfills different warehousing needs: 

• Modula Pallet: Handles palletized goods at inbound areas. 
• Modula Lift: Stores large or slow-moving items. 
• Flexibox: Ideal for small, fast-moving goods such as those in e-commerce and retail. 

Choosing between Modula Lift and Flexibox depends on the weight, size, and movement frequency of your items. Apart from Lift, Flexibox also integrates well with Modula Slim, Pallet, Next, Climate Control, and Clean Room systems. All use the same software platform, offering unmatched flexibility in warehouse management.
